The #1 and most important job of the President is to protect this country without hesitation.

Romney might not have the media rock star image, but he seems to understand what is going on.
I have been calling out Mickey on this subject for a long time now, it is about time it starts to get some attention.


http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

I don't blame obama, he hates this country and wants to destroy it so he really isn't disappointing me. I blame all the idiots in this country that can not see it.

Can't ignore the fact that George Bush already did a good job of destroying this country. You have to be quite obtuse not to get that.

Bush loves his country, Obama absolutely does not. Bush at least protected the constitution by refusing to let the UN dissolve our sovereignty. Lot of men died protecting it, Obama just lets our enemies walk right in and take it. Victory without war, wow, they are smarter than us.

Nice to see the Weekly Standard is creating news when there is none.

"President Obama's statement was made in a response to a question about Iran's relationship with Chavez.

"We're always concerned about Iran engaging in destabilizing activity around the globe," Obama told a TV host. "But overall my sense is that what Mr. Chávez has done over the last several years has not had a serious national security impact on us. We have to be vigilant. My main concern when it comes to Venezuela is having the Venezuelan people have a voice in their affairs, and that you end up ultimately having fair and free elections, which we don't always see."

What is wrong with this?

Are you worryworts actually concerned about Venzuela taking over the USA? Homey did you say you are concerned about our status as a soverign nation?

BWAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAAH

Wait, let me think about that again....

Nope, still 100% RIDICULOUS.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

You guys are a joke.

what is next? Are you concerned about Iceland annexing Maine?
Is Bermuda going to take St. Thomas?
Perhaps Japan will recreate the old Kamikaze pilot air force and bombard Hawaii again?

Yawn.






"Insert witty quotation here"

Yep, Obama has been lousy on national defense. Just look at all the attacks we've had. Also, Osama Bin Laden still out there.

Totally unlike Bush. Nothing bad ever happened on his watch because he truly loved America.

Lol. Homey, I seriously think you need psychiatric care.

He "hates" and "wants to destroy" America, and the best he could come up w was health care! Hahaha.
Yeah, he's a real Joe Stalin, as JB would say. Health care reform is clearly as evil as killing 20 million of your own people.
You guys are a riot. If this stuff is the best you can come up w, you might have to deal w him for 4 more years!
Somehow, I don't see the he is "evil," "Stalin"-like and, "hates America" arguments holding much water w independent voters. Lol.

This reminds me of the 2004 election so much. Dems selected a candidate based purely on "electability," and then called Bush a warmonger and basically a Nazi without offering a real alternative in terms of policy, and then were shocked when they lost.

Only real difference I see is Bush's policies hadn't yet wrecked the economy and the war was still popular (I remember you guys loved it). Could b difference makers, but Mitt is basically a Republican John Kerry, maybe w even less convictions if that's possible.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Talk about Obama being soft on security all that you want, but with him in office we've been free from a successful terrorist attack from abroad. There was one notable one under Bush.

You see, the difference between me and you guys is this....

You believe Obama loves this country because he said so during a campaign speech...a duh.

I see who his affiliates were before the campaign. Ayers, Wright, he11, he even paid homage to Mao with an ornament on his holiday tree.

sigh

By the way bronco, I was not necessarily talking about Chaves and the Obama comment. I am talking about his entertaining the idea of other countries like Iran constructing law and regulation in contradiction to our constitution. Obama said himself he will do what he can "under the radar"

What a sneaky 9od d@m& b@stard.

"I see who his affiliates were before the campaign. Ayers, Wright, he11, he even paid homage to Mao with an ornament on his holiday tree."

WOW

A guy Obama was on 2 non-profit boards with back in the 90's, a crazy pastor who Obama disvowed and a piece of plastic.
That is real hard hitting evidence there.

When do I forfeit my guns again?

"Insert witty quotation here"

No, there was more to their relationship than that and you know it. How can you be so nonchalant? Its like Murf's neighbor problem, nothing wrong with getting him out of there, you guys would be like, well lets just wait and see, he hasn't molested anyone yet since he has been out.

"Nothing bad ever happened on his watch because he truly loved America. "
lol, I seriously think he only killed Osama thinking ahead to the election. He probably didn't want to do it and by the way he threw the doc that helped the CIA under the bus, I say Obama got his revenge. What has he done for this guy? Well, I hear he apologized to Pakistan. I wonder how tough that display is going to make it for our intelligence network now, knowing how we take care of people that help us.

"Piece of plastic" bronco says. As if Bush had a plastic swastika on his tree, you would call it just a "piece of plastic"

"a crazy pastor who Obama disavowed" OMG, he disavowed him during a presidential campaign, wow, how genuine.

So I assume you want to return to the good old days of 2001 - 2009 - the Bush glory years. Boy he did a good job didn't he? Btw, how did your portfolio do or do you have one. You must have lived in a cave if you think going back to that kind of management via Romney will do the trick. If you do, look me up. I have some land in florida for sale.

Oh, your portfolio didn't do well, its all bush's fault, lets bring in the commies and throw this country away.

One of the many problems with liberals is that they would rather react with tears and talk instead of trying to prevent things from ever taking place because they don't want to "offend" anyone.

Nobody believes that Venezuela is going to attack the United States or even attempt to do anything like "take it over".
I don't believe I have even ever heard the crazy whack jobs suggest that.
Here is the deal, nobody thought Cuba was going to do anything like that either, but we had a President that told Russia to move the weapons from Cuba or face destruction and Russia removed the weapons.
It is called being the world leader and protecting not only yourself but your friends that surround the enemy of the State.
Chavez is not a threat, but he is a big problem if we continue to believe that he has done nothing wrong.
The minute he started to play games, he should have been put in his place.

To whoever the moron is that blamed Bush for 9-11, get a clue.
The man was in office for 5 months when the cowards attacked and slaughtered thousands of innocent civilians.
Everyone involved from Reagan to Clinton gets the blame for ignoring the warning signs, but even though I voted for Clinton, he played liberal and did not pull the trigger on Bin Laden.

Part of the reason why we have not faced a huge attack since 9-11, is because of the much hated Patriot Act.
I am not a huge fan of the government having the legal opportunity to violate the rights of the people, but I am 100% all for profiling.

The killing of Bin Laden is like this huge war trophy for the liberals.
"Bush didn't kill him...The great savior did".
Honestly you embarrass yourself when you champion that.
As pointed out, the government didn't even protect the man that made it happen and then the great water walker apologizes to a government that was protecting enemy #1 on top of giving the guy a proper burial at sea.
Bin Laden was nothing, the army of cowards are still operating under the umbrella of a religion that has won the hearts of the bleeding heart whack jobs and the threat of the United States being attacked again, is still pretty high.

If Romney wants to win this election, he has to go all in.
If he plays the same game that Mcain did, he will not have a chance.

"lets bring in the commies and throw this country away"

Everyone thought that would happen years ago when we thought the great Russian beast would do it but it didn't turn out that way. Turns out they went bankrupt trying to keep with us. Now I guess it's China?? How is the great Red giant doing these days? They are ready to come over and take us over now? You must live in a cavev for now China just might go into recession.

As far as portfolios ask the millions of people on retirement or close to retirement how they felt about Bush's debacle then and if they were happy about it.

"Its like Murf's neighbor problem, nothing wrong with getting him out of there, you guys would be like, well lets just wait and see, he hasn't molested anyone yet since he has been out."

Not sure if you are on the same planet as the rest of us Homey, but we ALL offered him advice on how to get rid of the pedophile and no one said anything close to 'let's just wait and see.' So how is this like that again? Believe what you want tho I guess...

"lol, I seriously think he(OBama) only killed Osama thinking ahead to the election. He probably didn't want to do it"

Are you sure he even really killed him Homey? I mean, why bury him at sea, unless you didn't really have the body? Why did the DNA test take so long? Did they have skin samples from bin Laden hidden somewhere that they'd previously obtained? If Obama is reelected, will Biden rip his mask off at the inauguration and reveal that bin Laden is in fact Obama's VEEP of Destruction for the 2nd term, and that Biden has been dead for months and they just propped him up on the campaign trail like Weekend at Bernie's and no one noticed?

And let me guess, Glenn Beck explained it all to you! Lol



"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

"Not sure if you are on the same planet as the rest of us Homey, but we ALL offered him advice on how to get rid of the pedophile "

I know you guys did, just an analogy.

"Can't ignore the fact that George Bush already did a good job of destroying this country. You have to be quite obtuse not to get that."


That 4 f*cking years later--you phags are still blaming the boogeyman (Bush) for your own blunders. American Hater is only hurting the economy with his agenda's--and you a monkey brain if you can't see through it.

Sure Bush sucked--but get over it already. It's lame as hell that you're still blaming him 4 years later. You've done NOTHING to solve the problems you've encountered along the way--and somehow--you've even managed to make it worse.

Time to kill this monstrosity called Obamacare.

Question: Was the NAACP booing Romney today because he called it "Obamacare" or because he slammed it?

Be careful, liberals. It is a f*cking trick question.





"So he got fired? Big deal. It's happened to the best of us. So he got kicked out of his house by his 400 lb'ed wife?!?!? That's probably better for him anyways."-OldSchooler on ChrisMBHater's absence

Big story on the Weekly Standard and Fox News. Not much of a story elsewhere. Interesting...

Sam it certainly is interesting..... but not surprising. Those of us who can see past the end of our nose know all about that.

Why do we call that infamous day 9-11?

After all, it was in June right?

"The man was in office for 5 months when the cowards attacked and slaughtered thousands of innocent civilians."

Murf on 6-11.

What an idiot.

The minute I embrace Faux Noise as a "news organization" is the day I embrace a cheese grater as a "masturbatorial tool".

The only people that watch it are the 40% Repubs in the Country. That is their ratings base. Genius by Murdoch from a business standpoint.

Laughable as it relates to journalism. They normally dont do any investigative journalism or expose's or send people to get real stories. Its talking heads who all jerk each other off about how bad Obama is and how bad Romney would be - errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - after the RNC nomination - how great Romney would be. LOL

They are a joke. But its a joke that sells to the 40% righties.

"Insert witty quotation here"

Man, one thread yall claim Obama is a commie and here you say he hates America. Obama sucks but you sound like you're one pink-slip away from bombing a federal building. Relax. and no I don't like Romney's chances so you might want to work on all that hatred now or these next 4 years will kill you (or someone else).

So just to make sure I got this straight, 9-11 and the housing crash were Clinton's fault, even though they happened while Bush was president. Bush gets no blame.

But, the economy is now Obama's fault, because it's lame and stupid to blame the previous president for today's problems, even if today's problems started under the previous president.

Got it.

Can we just simplify this and say everything is the Democrats' fault no matter what, and that Bush was the Golden God of politics who did no wrong at all? That would make it a lot easier to keep track of.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Bush was a fantastic President. Everything he touched turned to Gold.
Ok, I cant even write that without smiling. LMAO.

What is worse? that Bush was able to beat Gore or that we re-elected him after he accomplished nothing?




"Insert witty quotation here"

Typical liberal coward tactic d-bag...
A typo...he was in office for 7 months, man that changes the scope of the conversation...and you want to call people names...lol


Bush was nothing special but he was not even close to the disaster the liberal media tried to paint him to be.
Compare the biggest complaints about Bush with what Mickey has done and there is very little difference besides the media protects Mickey.

http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

You have to understand - Obama came in when there was a depression not recession in progress. Let's do a what - if - suppose by the strike of a lightning bolt McCain won - what would he do? The budget in place was already $1T in arrears and due to the structure of the budget would be that way for each of the next 3 years + Mccain would have to do some major stimulus to get the economy going. Recall back in the previous recession Bush mailed out rebate checks 2 years in a row and did that really help? It added to the national debt and really didn't have a lasting effect as Greenspan was commissioned to do his own stimulus and forced down interest rates to a rediculous ammount to get people into homes. We all witnessed what happenned next. What Mccain would have done in 2009 is anyone's guess but it would have to be something big.

Man, one thread yall claim Obama is a commie and here you say he hates America.


I will say that I respect the office of the Presidency...always have, always will. Although I did not vote support W in his re-election bid in 2004 because of the economy I did accept America's and Ohio's decision to re-elect him, and then went back to supporting my president. It wasn't until the economic crisis in 2008 that I really began to turn against him. With all of that said the man was the President of our country for eight years and I appreciate what he tried to do.

With all of that said, this talk that President Obama/liberals hate our country and are Socialist is total BS. It is murf, Homey, and all who think that President Obama is a Socialist that "hate" our country...

I don't think he hates the country. But I don't think he has very much respect for the constitution either, as evidenced by his recent power grabs. I think an impartial look at the facts bears this out.

JB, you compared the man to Stalin, and THEN defended the comparison!

I'm not sure how impartial you can really claim to be here.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Can someone please explain how Bronco can hate foxnews but embrace the news organizations that
1) purposefully edit a 911 tape to incriminate someone
2) feature faked documents to smear Bush during an election

lol, liberals sometimes make me laugh.

The NBC producer who ran the story got fired by NBC, right?

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/upshot/nbc-fires-producer-over-edited-zimmerman-911-call-201124740.html

Some of the Rather/Bush documents turned out to be fakes, but that wasnt the end of the story, right? And Rather didnt fake the documents, right? Bush was a deserter, right? At least one top ranking General backed Rather up.

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/dan-rather-doubles-down-on-texas-air-national-guard-story-bush-was-a-deserter/

Whereas FOX NEWS makes errors every single day.

Mikey is cleverer than you think.

Fox and MSNBC are the exact same.
Both fill air time with loud mouth idiots that twist and spin anything and everything to make the other side look bad.
Olberman was a disgusting human, but he is down the middle compared to Ed Shultz.
That guy can't speak a sentence without lying.
Liberals hate Fox news because Fox refuses to fall in line with the cult agenda.

I have read a few times over the past few days that I make the claim that Mickey hates America.
I have never said that, or anything remotely close to that.

He can't control the economy anymore than Bush or any other President in history, simply because he has no power to do anything about it besides play political battelfield behind the scenes to push an agenda.
The President is not to blame for the failures with the economy.
Congress runs this country!
When people understand how this country operates, things will change, but until then, the morons will continue to vote for whoever the weasels push out there.


I don't respect the President because he is the President, you have to earn respect.
Whoever is in the White House must prove his worth during his time, he works for us.




http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

"Congress runs this country!"

God help us all if that's the case - truly one of the most dysfunctional in history. Those sorry azzes don't have enough sense to get in out of the rain.

Bloopers, Foxnews made a few bloopers and you call that worse than doctoring files? You are a typical lefty, refusing to see anything that contradicts your beliefs.

Yes, Congress runs this country and yes, we are screwed in this day and age because words like honor, dignity and trust can't be used to describe any of them.

A normal hard working middle class family man has no chance of winning a seat because it takes a sh!t load of money and the majority of society don't want to hear the truth.

The lying season is upon us, how many times are you going to hear smear campaigns and how many times are you going to have the opportunity to listen to each side give a semi-detailed description of their true agenda?

We have allowed this to become our world and unfortunately we will never return to the greatest country on earth again.




http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

Huh? Dan Rather doctored the files? Never saw any proof of that.

My understanding was they were given false documents that was part of Dubya being a Deserter (which he was).
The story wasnt all false, only some of the documents given to Rather.

Are you that fukking dumb?



"Insert witty quotation here"

"The lying season is upon us, how many times are you going to hear smear campaigns"

Hard to disagree with you on some of this. They sure have trashed the airways with their propaganda - when I see one of their ads come on I have the remote qued up so I can click to another station and not watch it. The thing I don't understand - do they think their nonsensical ads will really influence anyone - that their blathering will make someone make up their mind right then and there? In other words if you make up your mind based on those TV ads then you are a moron.

"do they think their nonsensical ads will really influence anyone - that their blathering will make someone make up their mind right then and there? In other words if you make up your mind based on those TV ads then you are a moron. "

Bear, I would like you to meet the independent voter, independent voter, I would like you to meet bear.

Hey c'mon, the story was only partially false.

Just say it was bad and move on. quit trying to excuse this.

Bear...
I find them very insulting.
They insult your intelligence with the lies and spins.
I would love to see a straight forward politician just 1 time in life, but that will never happen.


The media...
C'mon Bronco, you have to give up on trying to spin the disgusting behavior from the cult media.
Seriously?
NBC is complete garbage and has become nothing but a tabloid type of news network.
The Dan Blather mess was par for the course.
What they did during the Bush administration was beyond wrong.
The absurd coverage of Katrina to make the President look bad was low but the tossing of the soldiers under the bus was the breaking point for me.
They are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites and 3rd tier hacks.
Not a single person on TV has credibility or courage.



http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

"Bear, I would like you to meet the independent voter, independent voter, I would like you to meet bear"

I've been independent since Bush drove me from the Repubs in 2002 but to buy that $hit you'd have to be something less than stupid irregardless of your political affiliation.

Murf, NBC fired the producer who f*cked up the Zimmerman thing.
They fired Rather (when I dont think they should have).

That is called quality control.
Do you think any of the d-bags at Fox do that when they get something wrong?

Then again, Fox News has even admitted they aren't a "news" organization in the classic sense of the words. They dont actually do any investigations or real journalism. Its just talking heads favoring the right. MSNBC does the same on the left. I dont go to either one for "NEWS" or "JOURNALISM".

They arent reporters. Or perhaps more accurately, they arent "journalists".



"Insert witty quotation here"

Bear, the two parties are two totally different parties philosophically. To me the President is just the talking head of either party. An election is not just the person, its the party. If you don't like the philosophy, fine, but if you don't like a person, you shouldn't change you philosophy. Hence the independent voter who has no philosophy but gets tricked by the rhetoric. Soccer moms come to mind. Who are you voting for? "I'll watch the debate and make my decision then" ugh, seen it so many times.

Homey,

The problem is the hypocrisy on the right.
They claim to be the party of less government and less spending.
That is their montra.

You honor, i would like to enter into evidence the entire Presidency under George Bush froom 2000-2008.
Specifically, look at years 2000-2006 when the Republicans controlled the legislature and the Presidency.

Yeah, they really believe in small government and tight spending.
They only increased spending by 41% compared to the Clinton presidency.

Always remember that when any Republican tells you they will tighten belts and want smaller government. Its all garbage.

"Insert witty quotation here"

It used to be about the person running for President.
Now it is all 100% about party lines.

Liberals are trying to turn this country into a 3rd world socialist state and the Thumpers have no fuching clue what they are doing or why they are doing it.
I don't know who is going to win, but the last thing I ever want to see again is Nancy Pelosi back in any type of control.

Bronco...
Yes they fired the guy after they were called out on it.
Blather was a lying sack of sh!t for years and years, he got what he deserved.
Journalism died years ago.
What you have today is a bunch of cowards that have the journalistic skills of a 2nd grader.




http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

I think we have been moving stedily in that direction for some time - at least 30 years. The destruction of the middle class will tilt us into 3rd world status but don't expect it to happen quietly - there might even be a revolution of sorts with riots.


http://finance.yahoo.com/news/james-carville-middle-class-hit-003512805.html

When did Rather lie previously?

"Insert witty quotation here"

Journalism didn't die 30 years ago, the American public became too lazy for journalism to have the effect it should 30 years ago.

There is a lot or great journalism being produced today, but Americans would rather sit down in front of the idiot box rather than read something. Fewer people care enough about this country to learn about its problems, they are too busy being entertained.

There's a reason Fox News and MSNBC lead in ratings. Right wing radio is more profitable than ever.

Don't blame journalists, blame yourself.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

I agree the general public is very stupid when it comes to knowing anything in general about politics.
I don't place all of the blame on the public, I place a ton of the blame on the liberals.

Journalism is dead, it has been dead for a long time.
I don't want some 3rd tier hacks opinion on the story, I want the story complete with all of the facts and then I want to make up my own mind on what my own opinion is going to be about that subject.

The Zimmerman case is a perfect example of the current day garbage.



http://murf-seriously.blogspot.com/

I see ABC already got busted for trying to blame the shooting on the Tea Party.

CIN-C I fully agree with your assessment. We've become a nation of soundbite lovers. But murf is right too. What we once considered journalists are now just thinly veiled advocates for either idealogy. That's not to say there are not still good journalists out there but I wonder if the demand for their services hasn't waned.

JB, I agree with your assessment also. It's hard not to agree that when demand for something drops, the supply is sure to follow.

With that in mind, I'd like to share a column the Enquirer reprinted today from Mr. William Raspberry, a columnist that I considered to be a beacon of reasonable, thoughtful dialogue in a sea of talking points and spin.

http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120718/EDIT/307180026/A-final-plea-thoughtful-civil-debate?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|FRONTPAGE|s

I, like Mr. Raspberry, usually secretly agree with both sides on many contentious issues. He passed away this week, but hopefully his penchant for wading into the nuance and engaging in civil discourse hasn't.

"We do do, and we do it at a very, very high level," Lewis said.

Congressman of 30-years admits American people are getting dumber, also admits television news is garbage, not real journalism and just a bunch of political spin:
